DAY 10!
Kids from the cast of Nativity! The Musical went back to school this week with a visit to the real-life Coventry primary made famous by the smash-hit Nativity! film series.
First used as the main location for the original 2009 movie, Holy Family RC Primary School in Keresley has continued to appear in subsequent installations, becoming well-known to locals as the real-life St Bernadette’s.
Inspired by the first film in the series, the recent musical adaptation similarly shows plucky youngsters from an unassuming Catholic comprehensive attempt to stage the best nativity play the world – or at least Coventry – has ever seen.
With a bit of help from their reluctant teacher, Mr Maddens, and his crazy teaching assistant, Mr Poppy, the children of St Bernadette’s eventually get their chance to sparkle and shine at Coventry Cathedral, outdoing even the fee-paying Oakmoor School for festive spectacle and pizzazz!
With just a couple of weeks to go until a brand new UK tour of the acclaimed stage show makes its hotly anticipated Coventry debut at the Belgrade Theatre, the kids from the fictional St. Bernadette’s took a quick tour of its real-life counterpart, visiting some of the areas featured in the film. Find out more about what they got up to here: http://bit.ly/2yg3tSW Nativity! The Musical shows at the Belgrade Theatre 23-28 Oct. Book now: http://bit.ly/2yd5Wxq
DAY 9! Here at the Belgrade Theatre, we’re starting Christmas early this year with the arrival of Nativity! The Musical 23-28 October.
But while this might be a one-off, we reckon everyone has a tendency to #StartXmasEarly in one way or another - so we’ve put together a fun quiz to prove it. Answer honestly and we’ll let you know what the results are like once we have them. Merry Christmas!
